Dear Sweetheart Chapter 274 I Have Never Seen His Body
Jasmine went out with the check in her hand, not forgetting to close the bedroom door behind her.
When she opened the entrance door, she saw that Emma’s face was contorted with rage.
“So it’s really you!” The moment Emma saw Jasmine, her face darkened. “There are so many other men that you can choose, Jasmine. Why do you have to pester my son?”
Jasmine smiled faintly. “Did I pester him? I don’t think so.”
Emma scowled. She pushed Jasmine aside and walked into the room. She intended to march straight to the bedroom, but Jasmine stopped her. “You’re here to see me, Mrs. Xavier. Please don’t interrupt my man sleeping.”
Emma sneered, “Do you think I don’t know that Theodore is inside? Move aside!”
“Did the receptionist inform you that Theodore is here as well?” Jasmine countered.
“He didn’t come back home last night.”
“If he didn’t go home, perhaps he went to have a drink with his friends.” Jasmine smiled and leaned against the door. “If you insist on barging in, Mrs. Xavier, I will call the police. Mr. Xavier is not in Norwal City. You can be taken to the police station because you’ve trespassed other people’s places. Don’t you think it will be too humiliating if your peers know about it?”
Emma clutched her bag furiously. “You have a sharp tongue.”
“It’s been four years. People change. How can they not?” Jasmine smiled. “But to me, you’re still the old you, Mrs. Xavier.”
“I’m not here to argue with you, Jasmine.” Emma glanced at the closed bedroom door. “I know Theodore is inside. Otherwise, you won’t stop me from entering the bedroom.”
She took two steps forward. While she continued to look at Jasmine with disdain, she said, “So what if you’ve slept with each other? You’re the one who is at a disadvantage. You have insulted yourself and trampled on your own dignity.”
Jasmine did not back down. She met Emma’s eyes. “Mrs. Xavier, it’s a beautiful thing for two people who love each other to sleep together. In that case, aren’t you insulting yourself as well?”
“You—” Emma raised her hand, wanting to slap Jasmine.
Of course, Jasmine would not let her do it. She grabbed her wrist and flung it away.

Emma staggered a few steps backward, her face filled with rage.
“If you try it again, you will hurt yourself, Mrs. Xavier.” Jasmine took out a check from her pocket and handed it to Emma with a smile. “Four years ago, you gave me ten million. Now, I’m returning you a hundred million.”
“Do you think you’re that capable now after you took over Sanders Group?” Emma was utterly disgusted.
Jasmine arched a brow and replied, “Why, of course. I can easily give away a hundred million now. I can even buy those things that you wish to have.”
Emma looked as if she was eager to rip Jasmine apart.
“Don’t worry. I’m not interested in the jewelry.” Jasmine shoved the check toward Emma with a small smile. “This is to thank you. Without the ten million from you, I won’t be who I am today. I will settle the scores with you in the future for swapping the letter.”
While the tension between them thickened, Jasmine’s assistant entered the room with two shopping bags in her hands.
“Ms. Sanders.”
Knowing that she was no match for Jasmine, Emma merely snatched the check away and shoved it into her bag. With a cold smile, she said, “All right. If you want to continue pestering my son, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Having said that, she tucked her bag under her arm and strode away.
After she left, the assistant finally dared to approach Jasmine with the bags. The former asked gingerly, “Mrs. Xavier looks like a tough woman to deal with. She didn’t bully you, did she?”
Jasmine flashed a faint smile. “Did you see me being bullied?”
The assistant shook her head, then quickly handed the shopping bags to Jasmine. “These are the clothes that you have requested, Ms. Sanders. But didn’t Mr. Cook follow you last night? Why—”
“What a keen observer you are. Then why didn’t you ask two men to come over here to prevent bad things from happening to me?”
“Well, Mr. Xavier was there!”
Suddenly, the bedroom door was flung open without warning. Jasmine lost her balance and directly fell into Theodore’s chest. In less than two seconds, she was pushed to the side.
“I have things to do, so I’ll be going now, Ms. Sanders.” The assistant quickly walked away.
Seeing Theodore’s crumpled shirt, Jasmine took out a new shirt from a shopping bag. “Why don’t you change your clothes?”
“There’s no need for that.” Theodore swatted her hand away.
Jasmine narrowed her eyes.
What a jerk! He slept with me last night. How can he be in such a bad mood after he woke up? Do I owe him anything?
Theodore stepped aside and wanted to walk out. However, Jasmine grabbed his shirt before he could. “Mr. Xavier, I can see that you look sated. It seems that you haven’t forgotten what happened last night.”
Theodore’s temples throbbed. He tried hard to control his temper as he said, “You were drugged.”
“You could have sent me to the hospital after I was drugged. Isn’t it wrong for you to sleep with me? Besides, do you think anyone can sleep with the director of Sanders Group?”
“What do you want?”
“Looks like you’re a responsible one after all, Mr. Xavier.” She smirked. “You owe me a huge favor. Behave more politely next time.”
“Fine. I owe you a favor.” Theodore glanced at her hand, which was still gripping the corner of his shirt. “Let go.”
“What’s with that attitude, Mr. Xavier?”
Theodore was at the end of his patience. I must be crazy to spend the night here!
